I registered as the 'foreigner'. Uploaded copy of passport and yellow house book - completed. Try the 'foreigner' option, upload copy of passport, wife ID card and Tabien Baan.

You're registering you as the foreigner, but I don't see an upload of your passport ID page.

@pattjock Have you already arrived in Thailand and if so when (date of entry), or what date will you enter Thailand?

So his funds are in invested in an IRA account with a financial institution, not a bank. I would transfer the required funds for the Non Imm O into a checking or savings account to be on the safe side. Has he considered the Non Imm O-A visa?

I beg to differ, if the OP is flying from DMK to KL. All flights from DMK to Malaysia go from terminal 1 (International) You can obtain a re-entry permit 24/7 after Immigration but before security.

As long as the funds are immediately accessible, it should be OK. And should he have a medical emergency?

Thank you. As I'm trying to point out to @bamnutsak, Korat Immigration are not only requesting proof of an overseas (International) transfer, but the 'source' of where those funds originated from in your foreign bank account that you transfer. It's made clear in Immigration orders they are entitled to request evidence of the 'source'.

No they don't. You're confusing evidence of an overseas transfer, with the 'source', as in where did the funds you transferred originate from. The 'source' would be a pension letter or statement from your overseas pension provider, or similar, and that does not appear on an overseas transfer. My IO require a 12-month Thai bank statement with evidence the transfers originated from overseas. (Coded FTT, International, credit advice receipts, or a foreign exchange transfer form). For extensions based on retirement using the income method, they also request evidence of the 'source' of those transferred funds, such as a pension letter/statement, similar to what those who can obtain an Embassy Income letter have to provide to their Embassy to obtain the letter. Not all Immigration offices will request evidence of the 'source' of the funds in your foreign bank account, but be aware they can.

The UK state pension is also classed as a 'benefit', but in reality it is a 'government state pension'. That depends on the method of transfers and the Thai bank, whether you require a credit advice receipt, a foreign exchange transfer form, or neither as it's already coded as an International transfer. All of these only provide evidence the transfers originated overseas, they do not indicate the 'source' of the funds you are transferring.

US dollars, I assume, not BHT? The US Consulate in Chicago do not list the financial requirement for the Non Imm O, but it will be the same as the Embassy. Recent bank statement showing the applicant's name and ending balance of no less than $30,000 He'd have to ask the Consulate that question. Why an agent, he has sufficient funds to deposit 800K in a Thai bank account and do the annual extensions himself. 1,900 BHT + re-entry permit.

Most IO's will only accept the 800K funds deposit for the Non O application, or an Embassy Income letter, (together with reference documents showing the source of monthly pension). VE-TV to Non O Retirement.pdf

None. You must provide evidence of an annual income of either 12 x 65K monthly overseas transfers, or an Embassy Income letter.

Yes it is, it's simply a question of whether your IO enforce it and request proof of income from a pension, interest or dividends. My IO request a pension statement/letter and will not consider overseas transfers from savings. 138-2557 (2014) Docs for extensions - ENG.pdf 1. Application form 2. Copy of applicant’s passport 3. Evidence of income such as a retirement pension, interest or dividends; and/or 4. Funds deposit certificate issued by a bank in Thailand and a copy of a bankbook

Then that would depend on the nationality of your friend and where his application would be considered. For example, on the basis of the SE Non Imm O based on retirement; https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/page/retirement-visa Financial evidence showing monthly income of no less than 65,000 THB (£1,500) or having the current balance of 800,000 THB (£18,000), e.g. bank statements, proof of earnings - Applicant’s recent official UK/Ireland bank statement shows your name, address (Screenshots are not accepted). For monthly income of last 3 months no less than £1,500/ month. https://washingtondc.thaiembassy.org/en/page/non-o-retirement Recent bank statement showing the applicant's name and ending balance of no less than $30,000 or proof of monthly income of not less than $2,500/month) along with the current bank statement showing incoming income

Quietest Songkran I've witnessed in 11 years.

And you'll just provide the Non O stickerless visa, and the entry clearance officer won't even be aware you also have a stickerless TV.

Internal nationwide systems, and you've been able to obtain a KR2 from at least any Provincial Amphur for the last 20 years. There are still those who can obtain the Non Imm O ME visa where available after divorce, albeit they now require 400K. How is this possible if they can access various databases. Internal Immigration systems can't even access local government databases, or you wouldn't need to obtain a KR2 for extension applications based on Thai spouse, yet you insist they can access external Thai Embassy databases.

It's an educated opinion based on what I know of the e-visa and Thai Embassy external systems, which are operated by Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, against the totally separate internal systems operated by Thai Immigration. That and common sense.

Nuts! Dear Mr MangoKorat, I'm afraid we have to reject your application for a Tourist visa as our records indicate that on entry to Thailand on your previous Tourist visa you failed to submit a TM30 as required by the Immigration Act. Thank you for your understanding. Kindest regards, Thai Embassy. The online e-visa system and Thai Immigration systems are totally separate and not accessible by the other. The MFA are responsible for the e-visa system, Thai Immigration responsible once entering Thailand.

You totally miss the point, the OP has a stickerless visa that is not in his passport, it's printed on a separate piece of paper, and yes the Thai Embassy system and Thailand internal entry are totally separate systems.

Sorry, I missed the part where the OP stated he had dual nationality. 🙄

If you've been reading along and following the topic, the OP won't show his 'stickerless' e-visa.

'm pretty sure his Non O visa won't show up. Immigrations entry system does not access the Thai Embassy systems. Without a visa, he'd obtain a 30-day visa exempt entry, which is what he wants. Regardless if he entered on his Non Imm O visa, he could obtain a re-entry permit which would allow him to re-enter Thailand after his Philippines trip, provided the visa was still valid.

The OP applied for the Non O through a Thai Embassy. I think your question is regarding applying for the Non Imm O in Thailand from an Immigration office? In that case, the financials depend on if he's applying based on Thai spouse/family or retirement.
